Reflection on Term 1

At last, the first term of year 2010 is drawing to a close. Tests completed. Homework mostly completed. Eventful? Certainly.

Term one started with a bang. The first day of school signalled the end of the nearly-10-week-long year end holidays, as well as the start of the new school year. And of course, the frantic day of school where people were rushing to find their new classrooms, adapting to new timetables, as well as catch up with friends.

And then, basically, the weeks following sped by unknowingly. Lessons attended, homework done, as well as some fun. Right till the test weeks, then time slowed to a halt. Stress mounting, pressure rising. Right till the last test, then everyone took a deep breadth.

Reflecting and looking back, I realise the fun we had, as well as how much we have learnt. How we have benefitted, and how we have grown (intellectually). What lessons we learnt. The mood of term 1 fluctuates, just like the stock market. Rainy days come and go, sunny days don't stay long. But it was all part of term 1, happy or sad, good or bad, the past cannot be changed. The first term was meaningful in its own way- in a way that words cannot describe. The first term of Sec 2 has left its mark, an impression on us all. No term is perfect, but every term is unique. So I believe that we treasued our time, and hopefully made the best use of it.

As for the next term ahead, we hope for the best. Hopefully, it will be a meaningful and enriching term. And I think we'll make thy best of it we can.
